Background
Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have become popular for energy storage due to their high energy density, light weight, long lifespan, and lack of pollutants. However, because of the limited capacity of graphite and poor rate performance, LIB development is not possible. Significant efforts are being made to investigate next-generation carbon anode materials in order to increase the performance of LIB.
High…
